THE KEW YCI.K FUESS. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE LEADING JOURNALS UTCN CURRENT TOPICS. 0 TILED XVKRY DAY ron IVKNIKO TELrGRAPH General IJU ami the French Mission. From the Ihrald. It is understood that Onrral Dix assumes the charee of the Naval Ollico ot this port for a month cr' two, and that then he will take upon Linisilf the dutii'8 ot the mission to France a simple eolation of the problem, how is be to fill both these de3irnblc otCccs f It further appears that lor this appointment to France he is in debted to the Secretory ot State, a tact which is somewhat remarkable when it Is remembered that the views of General Dix on the Mexican are, or at leat have Ik en. in direct nntarontHiu to the maotctly inactivity and sootbiuc system I Mr. Seward. The question nitnrnll v follows, therefore, how Happen it that (Jenerul Dix uhotild be selecteJ oy Air. Seward at this ninii as the man of ail men lor the mission to Kranee? We couclude that, from the uriFntisfactory results of nw soothing synten), nud ironi the pressure of jiubl c opiuion, Mr. Seward has become con vinced that a more positive and decisive policy is demanded to meet this case of Naiolpou'a Mexic.m usurpation, lint whatever may have been the irotivts of Mr. Seward in this ap pointment, we are at liberty to accept it as (he turnim? over of a new leaf, and the opening of a new chapter in our toreipn rela tione, and that (Jeneial Dix's arrival in Paris will very soon be lollowcd by Maximilian' departure Irom Mexico, unless, from the force ot circumstances beyond bis control, poor Max may be constrained soo.icr to pack up and turn Irom the perilous "Halls of the Monte.umus" to rejoin his amiable Kiuprcs in their more com fortable and peaceable chateau on the Adriatic. When General Santa Anna and Mr. Roberts make up a coalition of Mexican Liberals and liphlins Irish l eniiins for the expulsion ot the foreign intruder Irom the soil of Mexico, the thinp will be done regard lets of the policy of Mr. Seward; but if it be true that Mr. Seward is also a party to this coalition, then, indeed, we may rejoice at the ciiuhku which b:is come over him. What a feather in his cap it will be to tind that his blandishments towards Louis Napoleon and his ttunke.yisni towards England nave been abandoned lor a vigorous and deci sive American loreiiiii policy! The wise statesman shapes his course to the course of events, and If circumstances demand it his favorite theory or eiand ideal ol yestcrda? is to-tlny abandoned. So we would apply the chancre indicated in the policy 01 the iorci".n depmtmont at Washington to the domestic policy of the Administration. Tenacity to a prand idea is a pood thing; but when 'it has mauilestly become a hopeless enterprise, it is not only the part ol prudence but of true hero ism to abandon it. The Bourbons were hurled trom power in France because they could not at last be made to learn anything or to forget anything. The marvellous success of Louis Napoleon, on the other har.d, 13 mainly due to the tact that, -with all his "prand ideas," he has care fully noted the dritt of passing events, anil hits advanced or fallen buck or stood still in this or that undertakiue as the development of the day encouraged" or admonished him. This is the policy tor the Administration. Gratitied to believe that Mr. Seward, in adopting it. is about to chance his system of diplomacy from soil soap to sulphur, if necessary, we still entertain the hope that the Administration will in season adapt not only its foreittn but its domestic policy to the inevitable course of events as marked in the drilt of the ruling public opinion of the country. The Imperial .Manifesto. I rom the Tribune. We published yesterday the tcyt of the circu lar which the Marquis di Lavalette, ad interim Minister for Foreign Allaire, has addressed to the diplomatic agents ot France. We received an abstract of the circular two days after its publication in the ifrnitcar on the 10th of Sep temberand on that occasion proscnted our views on the subject, in which now, when the full text ot the circular is before us, we find nothing to change and but little to add to. j The manifesto of the Freuch Government for this character the circular undoubtedly baa is emphatically pacidc in its profession. It ex prestdy undertakes to allay the excitement of public opinion in France by arguinp that in the important changes which have recently taken pluce in Europe there is nothing at which the French people have the remotest reason to teel alarmed. "For France, with Alpena," it says, "will booh number 40,000,0(10 inhabitants, Ger many S7.000.COO, Austria 35,000,000. Italy 26,000, 000, Spain 18,000.000." France, therefore, will continue to rank a'l these States in point of population, and has no reusou lor bein alarmed. The circular, on the contrary, finds some ob vious advantages in the new arrangements. Heretofore the Holy Alliance uuited all the peoples of Europe from the Ural to the Khine asainst France. There was no nation in Eu rope, with the exception of Spain, with which it was possible lor r ranee to contract an aiuance. Now the spirit ot the Holy Alliance is broten. Prussia haviup adopted the nationality princi ple, ol which heretofore France has been the only champion, has become the natural triend ana ally ol France. The same holds &ood, to a still higher degree, of Italy. Austria, relieved of her Italian and German leani litre, has no longer any interests contrary to those 01 trance, The disaimearance of decondarv Stales the cir cular looks upon as the result of an irreen-Uble Dower, end. in view of Russia and the United state, each ol which may within the next nun tret vnnru r-mmt a hundred million of men. it thinks it. not tor tho interest of the nations of Central Europe to remain broken up into little Ktfttps without either lorce or nublic spirit. . Tho latter nart of thi9 circular extols the glorious mediation of France in the late war, and nointg out as the mission of France in Europe "to strengthen the accord between all those pow ers which desire at one and the same time to maintain the principle of authurity and to favor progre's." The opinion which, both in France and abroad, prevails ot the signal fail- ! nres of the Nupoleouic policy during the last six vears, will hardly be improved by tnis part of the manifesto. But it is impossible to deuy that there is a great deal ot truth iu the termer part. By raising the standard of tho German nation ality, Prussia has lormally broken with the spirit which established the Holy Alliance, and entered at least into an alliance witii the demo cratic principle ot popular and national sove reignty. The Prussian Government cannot now retreat: it must carry through tho work once commenced, and how can it carry thtough its task without new attacks upon the divine right ot some of the princes? Tho views of the old King and Court Bismark about monarciitsm and demo crocy have probably undergone bnt little change, but both have shown on several recent occa sions that they tully comprehend tho impossi bility of completinc the task without the hearty sympathy ot the Liberal patty. At Ions as Germany Is not fully united there is no danger ot Prussia uniting again with Kussia and Aus tria for the establishment of a Holy Alliance. Thp remark of the circular on the impending disappearance of the secondary States iu Europe are equally true, wnetiier 11 is jtm or uujusi, better tor the people ot the secondary Stalest or worBe, the tact is undeniable that they ere alto gether at the mercy ot their powerful neighbors, that they are even now hardly sovereign, and that they will cease to exist whenever the great powers can come to an agreement con cerning them. It would certainly be a great euarantee to the future Deace of Eurone If. with regard to these powerless States, the principle were generally aoopiej mat none 01 tnem buouki be annexed to a larger State asalnat the out- vpoken will ot the inhabitants. THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, VYp believe, therefore, that the lormer part ol he manifesto contains words which are capa ble of a right rote trncMon, and winch would, faithfully carried out. be conducive to th nre Frrvation ot peace in Europe. But neitliei France nor Prupsiahnvp thus far awakened any kinceiity of their oflicial protrusions. The Uucstlon f Kl.Iellf - Who Arc the Unfaithf ul t from the Timet. Tho charge of bad taith under which Demo cratic journalists endeavor to hide their own violation of the compact entered into at Phila delphia, is echoed with apparent honesty by feme of our Southern contemporaries. "Con pcrvative Republicans," they say, "have do" ceived tin with the Philadelphia Conveutrm, and then betrayed us by abandoning that move ment after commit ing us to it " To establish the injustice of the accusation, it is only neces miry to reconsider the facts of the case on which it is made to rest. As between the Northern parlies to the Con vection there Is really no room for controversy. From the very outset, there was a distinct uii-dpr.-ti.nding that the meeting ol Republicans and Demicrats on a common plattortn did not iuvolve any essential chutiue in the ordinary party relations ot either. It was an extra-patty occasion tin occasion on which, for a certain denned national purpore. politicians consented to loreiio their partisanship, and to co-operate without reference to pi st or prospective alli ance?. T'Le earliest possible restoration of the Union was recegnized as an object that jus.tif.ed the pamtce ot personal ambuion and the surrender ot old prejudices: the pivot of thp movement l e'.iip nn implied ng'cr:nent that bo lontr as this object remained nuaUjined, mere purty ques tions should be held in abeyance. On this bus's the Convention was organized and worked. And its success was attributable to the admi rable temper and judgment with which the principle ot compromise and party abnegation was adhered to. obviously, the same spirit should have actu ated the members ami professed friends of the Convention in the after-stages ot the movement. 11 111 mouy at Philadelphia could amount to but little unless it were the prelude to harmony iu the States which were to be the theatre of the pending canvass. The conditions under which file was breathed into the movement required the continuance of an unselfish, patriotic spirit In the management ot local campaigns. Had it been declared beiorchand that in New York or el'-ewhcre the Democrats were to assume control of 'gatherings called in the interest ot National Union, and were to regulate, the nominations with an avowed regard 'o their party conveni ence and benefit, the programme at Ph iladelphia would Lave been eim.ely changed, and the result entirely ditlerent. Tlie charge of bad laith, then, is applicable to the Democratic fection of tue Philadeipuia Con vention, and in no desree to the cou-ervntive Republicans. The latt'T have a right to be complainants m the premises; for while pre paid to ci.rry out i-tead'as'ly the terms adopted at Philadelphia by subordinating piuty to na tional considerations, they found the Democrats intent upon prostituting the Nutional Union movement to the uos of their old party organi zation. And when, by a re3ort to aixencies and means which we care not now to characterize, the Democrats acquired tho mastery for ttierr own party, the conservative Republicans, who up to t but time nan adhered laitnluily to the project matured at Philadelphia, were con- trained to leave Democracy to tbeir devices and the deieat tnat awaits them. No other course was open without a forfeiture of self- re.-pcct, and becominer participators in a breach of laith as discreditable as it will be dis astrous. For this after-play, perhaps, we ought to have been prepared. Perhaps we erred in ever sup- posinp that lourtiais like tne world would ad here laithtully to the terms of the Philadelphia Convention, whote proceedings they so signally failed to coutrol. remaps the course or tne ll'orrd prior to the Convention might have been held to foreshadow the treachery of the Wond school ol politicians after the Convention. They had contended, remember, that as a matter of right and necessity it thotild be to nil intents and purposes a Democratic Assembly, wltli con servative Republicans as admitted but unintlu eiitinl guests. The fact that these anticipations were not realized, ana tnat tne moderation ana good leeling ot the Southern delegates secured prominence and influence to the class whom the World had all but proscribed, was probably as surprising as it was mortifying to the politicians who more recently gaineu inc upper nana ai Albany. A relcrence to the columns ot me world will show this bey end doubt. Our contemporary hardlv knew how to conceal its chagrin; and though compelled by the pressure of circum stances to endorse the action at Philadelphia, it movco so tardily with such manifest reluct ance and dkgusi that there was no ditliculty in discovering where its heart stood in the con troveisy. The mere word were the word o the conservative Jacob, but the tone, the temper, the purpose, all savored of the Demo cratic. Esau. Hence we maintain that tho Democrats for whom the World speaks entered the Philadelphia Convention re solved to be its masters; that, being disappointed, they left it resolved to be its hetrayers; that Ihe doings at Albany, by which all that was vital in the National Union movement was dis carded, were in pursuance of the foregone con clusion to use the movement solely as a tender to the Democratic party. From which it fol lows that tho imputations indulged in by the Richmond JLnnttirer, and other Southern jour nals cf that class, justly apply to rone besides Northern Democrats. They, and they alone, have crushed the hopes excited by the Phila delphia Convention, aud incurred the odium ot bad taith by breaking the conditions of that movement after formally enlisting in the ranks of its adherents. The Democratic Party. From the World. The Times finds It necessary, onco in three days, to advertise that it has returned to the Republican fold, and suppjrts the Stats ticket which its editor, up to the meeting ot the Albany Convention, labored to defeat by an alii ance with the Democratic party. The stereo- tvne. 6enn-weekly reason which the Times assigns for it treachery to Mr. Pruyn and th Albany ticket is odd enough, considering the recent billing and cooing of its editor with Democrats. A sudden thought has struck him 1 He supports the Syracuse ticket, which he tiled to form a coalition with the Democratic nariv to deieat, out or pure uorror of 1110 satd Democratic party. The Democratic party, he guys, is a aargerou pariy; 11 is a ui-cretmeu party; it is a party wnoso return 10 power would ne xue ereaicsi ui uuoiiu cuiaiumcs. For the last two or three week these invective atrainst the Deniociatic party are constantly repeated. As they are flaunted forth merely to redeem Mr. Ravmoud lost position, aud restore luni to his party siauding, they perhap deserve no other reply tnan a recognition or tni.r motive. Still it may not bo out of place to restate some of the claims ol the Democratic mirtv to nublic confidence. me limes complains mat tne .Democratic party declines all proposal to drop it organ! zutiou and merge its existence in some new party. The Democratic party, having done nothing to be ashamed of, feel no need of an alias. It welcomes the alliance of all citizens diepoeed to act with it; but it is too conscious of its rectitude, too proud of its history, too con fident ol the justness and ultimate triumph of It principles, to skulk into a hutine-plaee. It tame into power, many years aso, by redeem ing the Government Irom centralism. It has since diiected our destinies and made our his torv, up to the late unfortunate civil war. Thrice it has enlarged our national territories by vast additions.

There is i.othmg of which (lie Democratic prrH has piea'er reason to be proud than it court-e dining ti.e late war.

Ila 1 it not l een tor this stout and re-oluto defense of imperilled lights, the great principles of civil hbert would have been eradicated from the public mind. The Democratic pony feels a marly pride that it rm-ed its voire iu rie'oiiiic of liberty, and caused ir to be heard abjve thejdln of hiuile hud the clash of arms. Nobody, in looking back npon the late con test, can point to a single despotic interference with the libeity of citizens, and say that it has tened by a single day the triumph of our cause. To w tint length those abuses might have been carried if the Democratic tarty had uot counded ihe alarm and scut it lar and wide, nobody can tell. Democrats have the satisfaction to re flect that thev pciiiled their satety and good name by boldly confronting la a less power in ilefciifpol civil liberty. They are slow to be Instructed by polit.cul t-h J'lhcceks, like the limif, that tins is a record to be aninned of. The other grt at occasion 011 which the Demo cratic pait.v consented to Incur odium, was when Mr. Lincoln ipsued his emancipation proclama tion. As a war measure it was preposterous; first, beeaupe it prolesncd to coaler Iteedoin 011 slaves which were entirely beyond our reach; arid seeoncly. because it s ifleucd the South to firht lor three or tour billions of property thereby put at stake. It probably len rthene I tho war two venrs. It caused the South to make a risifiUnce so strenuous and desperate, that, at the time 01 tluir collapse, their nro-t utiou was cot: plete. and their country reduce 1 to a wase. But the Democra'ic any opposed the proclama tion chiefly becai.se 11 was unconstitutional an objection the lorce of w hich has since been con-les.-ed by the Republicans themselves, bv amend ing the Constitution to make emancipation valid. Now, whether the Democratic party was wrong or light on the mere question of policy, to it belongs the merit of keeping the Government anchored to the Constitution, and preservinc the idea that measures which do uot conionn to the Constitution are void. If the Democratic partvhad acquie-ced in tli repealed violations of the Constitution during the war, the idea of constitutional government woul I have ben practically obliterated from the public mind. Though wc wt re defeated on particular points, we were ict lious in our main eli'ort. SVe uc cceded in keepuip alive the principle of consti tut onal government. It h. owing to the Demo cratic party that the emancipation amendment is a pert of the Constitution. It vas solely in consequence of our di-puting the 1 onetitutioiiulity of ihe proclamation, aud tho republican fears that, on our regaining power, we would repudiate it, that it was made a part of the Constitution, and put beyond the darger ol future di-turbance. By thus com pelling the republicans to seek the protection of the Constitution lor their favorite measure, we brought Um to a sense of the security of con stitutional saleauards. We roinviaoraicd the decn.vine principle of constitutional govern ment. The stienuou battle which we tought tor the Constitution has eo alarmed the Repub lican party tbar they feel no security lor any ot the fruits bl the war without tho guarantee ol Con? titutional amendments. The Democratic party may therefoie fairly claim the merit of redeeming constitutional government from tho danger 01 extinction. It is o ing to our conra eeous exertions that the vessel, shattered during the war, was not shipwrecked. We have com pelled even our political opponents to sim to wards ir, and try to regain its deck, as the ark 01 their saictv. Whenever the Union is restored, it will also be due to Democratic courane. The intrepid vigor with which we demand restoration makes the Republicans uneasy and fills them with ap pielieusion. They know that th Southern whites aro tne jNortuern emocrats lortn a ma- jontv ot the white population ot the country. and nave a prc ouuerance or its physical strer.gtn; and it is because they appreciate our vigor and dare not push us to extremities, that they make so many awkward attempts to hide their cloven toot. Were lc not tor tho elastic and indomitable spirit of the Democratic party, the Republicans would treat the Sum hem Slates as conquered provinces. It is our reso lute attitude tnat keeps the idea ot reunion up permost iu the public mind, and compels the Republicans to allect a desire lor early restora tion. Glorious as is the htstorv of the Democratic party throughout It lomr career, it has never ncico a part so greatly useiui as annus rue late war. B,i the fears its vigor has inspired in the dominant patty, it has saved constitutional government in'lhis country, and is destined to save the union. 1 tie constitution ana tnp Union have been its only battle-cries during the dangerous pencd tbioucn which, we have passed: and though neither is yet fully restored it is entirely duo to the Democratic party that they receive the universal homage ot a lip-ser vice, wnicn win n ore ana more strike us roots into the public neart.
